If the encoding is specified after an UTF-8 output is sent (title), the encoding of the whole document is wrong.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd'>
<html>
    <head>
                <title>žšššýčř</title>
        <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=UTF-8'>
    </head>

If I put the meta before the title, everything's OK.

This is an issue with DOMDocument, which dompdf relies on. I thought this issue was already addressed, but that does not appear to be the case. There are two work arounds that require minimal effort:

  1. Placing the HTML meta element before the title element (as you indicated).
  2. Enable the HTML5 parser (v 0.6.0 and greater), by modifying the DOMPDF_ENABLE_HTML5PARSER setting in your configuration file.

Personally, I recommend enabling the HTML5 parser. Beyond addressing this issue, it can help prevent DOMDocument processing errors by correcting syntactical problems in the HTML.
